Hello everyone,
Saw a thread here ( closed one ) by Karlos, and thought we should share our achievement as well.
We tend to do these questable areas every nite to farm for gems and gold items.... and on top of that, this is the only part which is challeging in game.
Love to say that ANET definetly made DoA a place which is farmable, challenging and highly rewarding!
Hence last nite, couple of us friends thought we should see if we can work with a build that can be used in all four areas.. and so..
**My group didn't mind their names being mentioned in the picture**
We completed 4 parts of mallyx as shown in the picture above within 6 hours 18 minutes ( ofcourse this includes our breaks, my ISP issues... etc etc etc)
On top of that, we wanted to take picture above, hence, cleared entire room, which costed us about 20 min *sigh*
PS: For people who claim that Anet has made DOA so hard that it is the absolute waste of time... need to realize that they are playing a game. In other words, wasting their lives any way... really.
On the other hand, if you see the loot you collect while doing this run, i find it proper to spend a great deal amount of time.
Collecting gems which are worth over 400k in total within 6-10 hours is not a bad time mark if you think about it.
If we do a run faster than this one, will definetly let you guys know!
EDIT: Since last thread was closed due to Technical ERROR DISCUSSION, and here we countered NONE.. kindly do not Discuss any of them in here. Thankyou
Darkest Elemantal.

Wow. Congratulations!
I am sure I do not speak alone when I say I'd be interested in strategies/team build you used here!
Congratulations again, that screenshot is testament to a significant achievement.

I may potentially be missing something, but that screenshot seems contrived.
I would suggest that the absence of any "dots" to mark your progress through the previous three sections of the DoA in the minimap indicates that you had not in fact visited the three sections other than the foundry. Similarly, none of the dots indicate that you had rescued the third prisoner, General Y. It seems unlikely to me that this picture is not fraudulent, it could be achieved by people taking 4 titan gems each into the foundry, dropping them in the appropriate place and then picking them up again, all together.
I am sorry if this is not an accurate assessment of the screenshot, but maybe people would like to consider this before congratulating you :P

Which i do not wish to discuss in his thread as i mentioned above.

If you disconnect and reconnect through the new option, you will have no dots ( I have mentioned in very first post that i have been disconnecting )
You can give it a try your self
Otherwise, how did i get to the middle of foundry without even going through the rooms
Meet me in game sometime, and i will simply prove it to u by having you do it for me. Not a hard thing to prove, really

I do not mind your inaccurate assesement, people make mistakes
In last, you can't get 4 titan gems if you don't make it through first 3 areas before foundry It is not our fault that when you open chests, you dont get to see what is droped for you until you pick it up. contact anet for that. Even if we had opened chests and had let them stay on floor, you would have said the very same thing. You will be able to find alot of posts from me with regards to DoA. Atleast i have been known to finish these quests in early days of DOA where majority of the people were discussing "DoA's Tough Requirements and Impossibly Hard Atmosphere". Thankyou for your kind asesement by the way Kindly state any other concern if you wish to, i will try to clear them as much as i can. Darkest Elemental

Yes it's for real, and can be done fairly easy (4 area run) now with the right build and people. DoA is like a cash crop for people that know what is up. Ive made millions in the last couple of weeks and Im sure others have made way-way-way more than that.
Now the real lucky bastards are those who get mini-pets or ambraces from coffers...and I get ELIXERS of Ewwwwwwww...
Xpl0iter
*Sigh* i understand your pain with coffers.
I still have quite a few elixirs and Lightbringer's Scrolls left in my inventory. Wasted about 17 coffers *Sigh* Best i got out of it was 5 stygians anshin
much congratulations...
i wish i could get people unstressfull so that we could find a way to clear each zone without premade builds...
Kazamafury
I recognize Messiah in that group so I figured I'd post and give my congratulations to him and the group!
jbwarrior
Very nice work, gratz!!!!!
 Could and would you share, with us with how many ppl you did those quests and wich build's you used.... tnx 
Saphon the Patient
Well - I guess a disconnection is a fair point. It was precisely the absence of dots from the earlier rooms etc... that led me to think that think initially that it might be a cleverly adapted screenshot, but if you made it around the 4 areas in that short time, then congratulations to you all.
I know that it is possible, it is simply a case of finding a group which is capable of carrying it out

Here's another screenie of the gems after everyone openened the chest.
As you can see they are assigned. Pug DoA = Ouch BTW great run, even if the west-coaster's keep us easterners up till 7am anshin

time wise DoA is too long to complete all the quest...
I would go more in DoA if it wasn't 4-6 hours to complete... Question How many weapons do Mallyx usually drop and how much does Mallyx's Edge cost? anshin

Question How many weapons do Mallyx usually drop and how much does Mallyx's Edge cost? every mallyx weapon is being sold for way over 100k + 50e... despite the re-used skins (two of the weapons have unique skins) there seems to exist a randomness on the weapon drops because there are more than 8 mallyx's weapons and only 8 persons... and only 8 drop at a time... so two are always left out... and they are VERY VERY VERY difficult to gain so i think its a fair price... DoA isn't 4-6 hours to complete... DoA is four parts... each part can be independently done... you can do one part in one hour... go to sleep... do another part and so on... except for the last part i think as the last part counts also with the killing of mallyx...
GloryFox
4 to 6 hours WOW!
It takes me that long to find a group to clear one area and I have the time to do it.

I'd love to do this. I'm going to try to run either my ranger or my paragon through here this weekend.

Have to say grats, personally I cant get into DoA, considering all my friends Hate PvE and love PvP but thats a good achievement, well done XD

Congrats. Our time is now down to 5 hours

...and now you hopefully tell us all the super uber trick of your group setup...
Sorry if I sound nagging. One part of me is impressed that a group can actually do that and another part of me is frustrated that I probably will never be in such a group. jelmew
Wow, i wish i had such good dutch pve friends. I'm basicly the only one in my guild who has completed nightfall yet(4 times.)
Jelmew Nema P.S Dutch own Torpoon
just curious but are rangers still needed in doa for greater conflag. and symbiosis? cause i have a dervish who beat game no one wants him tho and im wondering if its still worth beating it on ranger.

Karlos has already posted two builds on Guildwiki, so he's not keeping anything secret. I think the real super uber trick is get a cohesive group where everyone knows their role and plays it well. That's certainly what makes the difference between Karlos's group and any other random group (even a guild group) running his builds--Karlos's group simply has more experience.

Question?
Would the Famous Barriage/pet team builds used in tombs of the Primevil kings be useful and sucessuful in Doa.
MeanMartin
why not make a DoA team from here in Guru?

I think it's time we get below 5 hours Lamees. |

ok I would love to know how you guys do the entire thing in under 5 hours sure I can understand some skips left and right but overall I can not see it.....
Some insight would be appreciated
Karlos
Just posted the build we use for the 4 area run on the wiki... I will post the link to the build in a separate thread.

Although this times are now a mirage, the trick to succefuly runs is and will always be in Leadership and ppl that listens.
I have taken pug groups that did better than experienced players (that think they know all). If i'm tanking you will use the bars I give and stand where I am, or you won't run with me (simple has that, arrogant maybe, but it works), if I'm an Ele, Monk or Necro I will use the bar I'm told to use, and will stand where I told to, don't matter if I'm more exprienced than the Tank, it's is show, he knows where he's pulling, you follow directions you will be succesful, you think you better than the rest, go solo farm on your E/A I have yet to party with Karlo, since last time, an idiot triggered a quest and was to coward to admit, we didn't not continued, and this is the right move, if we had continued this person would have made us loose time... So this person instead of being smart and said, I'm new to this and ask directions decided to insult us by pretending he knew what he was doing, and that's the road to doom. Leadership in Elite missions is essential, especially if you're pugging it. Of coure then u can make funny runs for fun, like the one where we took an A/E Tank, Me/Mo, P/E, E/Mo, 3 Mo and a R/N... funny run 
Y.T.
nice!
what build u used? more important - what kind of builds ur monks were running?
Railin
4 to 6 hours... we didn't even clear the foundry in that time. T_T
